1) Battery
Your old 6v battery will have to be replaced by a 12v. The physical size of the battery is what you need to watch to make sure it will fit the allowed space. You will need to take your old battery in for a core and proper disposal so you can also match up the size. Your group 1; 6v battery should match up with a group 25; 12v battery or a group 35 which has the terminals reversed. You could also use the more popular and smaller group 26 battery. The CCA (cold cranking amps) of 600-800 amps should be more than adequate for the south. You northern guys may need a little more. For tractors that or not used daily a heavy duty battery will hold up over the long term better than the discount automotive batteries. Testing;
You can test your battery to see if it is charged with a volt meter. Use the meter and do not guess at it by looking at how bright the lights are. To truly test the battery though you will need to take it to a shop or parts store and have a load test done on it. Remember with your new 12V system it will be negative ground and positive to the starter relay.
